Lemon and lime drizzle sauce is tangy, citric and sweet so it works well served with dessert cakes. You cannot buy any other sauce that has this exciting taste.

This sauce goes well with cake puddings such as Golden date dessert. It can be made well in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Serve it warm even with ice-cream.

Cooks Know How: You will be amazed how zesting the lemon and lime makes the whole room fragrant with citrus. You will see how cornflour blends with cold water quite easily and has no lumps. This would not be true for wheat flour. You will recognise the way the cornflour thickens as the water reaches boiling and the sauce turns fairly clear. The sugar acts as a sweetener and you will use your own tasting skills to adjust the amount of sugar.

Add an orange instead of the lime to give this a different twist. You probably only need the zest from about half the orange.
